San Antonio’s Injury Bug

These days, the Spurs are going to war without two of their biggest stars: “Tony Parker is doubtful and Manu Ginobili is out for Thursday’s home game against the Utah Jazz. Parker missed Wednesday night’s 99-94 overtime loss at Dallas with a sprained left ankle that has been bothering him for more than a week. Ginobili, meanwhile, hobbled off the floor 7:28 into his first start of the season with a strained left groin. Ginobili is set to undergo further tests on the injury Thursday, and won’t play against the Jazz. The injury is unrelated to the hamstring problem that kept him out of the fourth quarter of Saturday’s loss to Oklahoma City.”
